Employee Spotlight: Q & A with Brandon Moore

“My favorite thing is to have someone come in, without much enjoyment about our product and have them leave with a huge grin because now they understand why I feel the way I do” – Brandon Moore

Fletcher Jones Audi: What is your role here and how long have you been with the company?

Brandon Moore: I’m a Sales Manager and a Team Leader. I’ve been with Fletcher Jones Audi for about 2 and a half years, however have been with Fletcher Jones for nearly a decade now.

FJA: What position did you start your career off in?

FJA: What’s your favorite part about working for Fletcher Jones Audi?

BM: Meeting all sorts of people from all walks of life. I’ve had such an amazing opportunity to meet anyone from professional athletes to professional whisky drinkers.

FJA: What’s your favorite vehicle?

BM: It has got to be my old vehicle, a 2001 Audi S4 Avant wagon. It was a dream car of mine since I was 9 years old and was able to finally buy one two years ago. Unfortunately life happened, so I had to sell it.

BM: Meeting all sorts of people from all walks of life. I’ve had such an amazing opportunity to meet anyone from professional athletes to professional whisky drinkers.

FJA: What is the best part about living in Chicago?

BM: Without a doubt the diversity. I was fortunate enough to grow up in Old Town on the Near North Side and learned that you cannot judge anyone by something other than their character. I believe this has allowed me to become very successful in this industry.

FJA: What is your favorite restaurant in Chicago or the surrounding area?

BM: This is such a difficult question. Without much thinking, there are a few that stand out. Greek Island: great foods, good atmosphere and free valet parking, who doesn’t like that? Athenian Room is another one. It’s nestled in the middle of Lincoln Park and the menu hasn’t changed in thirty or so years so you know they must be good. Lastly, Tufano’s; which is the definition of a little, Italian home cooked meal. I have been going there since I was 4 or so.

FJA: What are you favorite hobbies?

BM: Definitely sports. I LOVE the Blackhawks and the Cubs. We had season tickets to the Cubs for nearly 30 years and I’ve been to 22 MLB Stadiums.

FJA: What keeps you motivated?

BM: I don’t have any kids but am a grown man-child. Knowing that if I put in a lot of hard work, I’ll be able to buy all the toys I ever wanted. The only difference now is that when I was a kid, a toy Porsche 911 is a lot less expensive to purchase and maintain. On a more serious note; I want to be able to take care of everyone that has taken care of me throughout my life. Currently my better half is finishing school and the ability to be able to have her get that done without too much pressure on her definitely helps me get out of bed every day!

There’s yet another reason why Fletcher Jones Audi was recognized with the Audi Magna Society Elite award in 2016. Only 12 Audi dealerships in the nations have received this prestige award, with our brother company Beverly Hills Audi also received one as well. Missed out on that? Read here!
